KaneGAB's manga / #slow romance(3)

Strobe Edge

Complete | sakisaka io | 2007 released

One of my absolute favorites. The artwork is stunning; the author/artist is brilliant, the art style is absolutely amazing, and I am truly drawn to it. There were so many great characters and character development. I loved that many minor/side characters/ were given "screen time" and found love. The story was great, but they should have gotten together much earlier since they clearly both liked each other from the beginning; Ren's circumstances just prevented him from dealing with what he was feeling for Ninako. However, they were meant to be. Ren and Ninako are absolutely made for each other and will grow old together as in love as they are now. They're soulmates.

4/5 or 7/10 - The ML is pretty damn creepy, obsessive, stalkerish, and borders on predatory, but his love is still sweet (other than what I listed), and he's funny as fuck. He's masochistic, which makes his character funnier. And, the FL's rejections, harsh responses, and how he reacts to it is just hilarious! She doesn't confess until the last chapter. She started liking him around halfway through the manga. He fell for her instantly (when she called him disgusting, while he was coming onto her. He immediately fell for her and proclaimed his love for her - that it HAD to be her for him). I love the ML's sister/the FL's best friend. She's really stoic and cool. May re-read.
